J'ai payé l′école de tes frères,

Siro, mon beau-fils,

Tu es le meilleur des beaux,

Tu ressembles à trente-et-un

Tu es joli comme vingt-quatre

Je lui donnais tout mon argent

Ta mère me disait:
Your mother told me:

Tu as la bonté de Jésus
You have the goodness of Jesus

Je laissais ma poche chez vous
I left my pocket with you

Akouba eeeh! Eh!
Akouba eeeh! Eh!

Akouba oooh! Oh!
Akouba oooh! Oh!

Quand je suis tombé, je voyais plus la go
When I fell, the girl didn't care about me anymore

Quand j′allais chez elle,
When I went to her place,

Son père me disait:
Her father told me:

C′est quel vilain garçon,
What an ugly boy

Avec ses pieds arqués,
With his curved feet

Son gros nez?
His big nose?

Moi-même j'étais étonné
I myself was amazed

Quand j′avais l'argent, je n′avais pas de défaut,
When I had money, I had no flaws,

Maintenant que je suis moisi, c'est là on voit tous mes défauts
Now that I'm broke, that's when all my flaws show

Malgré tout cela
Despite all of that

J′ai cru
I believed

Que le beau-père ne m'avait pas reconnu
That the father-in-law didn't recognize me

Tonton chéri,
Dear uncle,

C′est moi Siro que tu appelais: " joli garçon "
It's me, Siro, whom you used to call "handsome boy"

Il me dit:
He said to me:

Mon petit,
My boy,

Il n'y a plus d′amour parfait, tout est basé sur le matériel
There's no such thing as perfect love anymore, it's all based on possessions

C'est pas beauté on mange
We don't eat beauty

Abidjan, c′est pas forcé
In Abidjan, it's not a must

Si tu n'as rien, il faut retourner au village
If you have nothing, you have to go back to the village

Aaah! Le tonton,
Aaah! Uncle,

Toi qui m'appréciais,
You who appreciated me,

Toi qui me donnais toutes sortes de qualificatifs,
You who gave me all kinds of epithets,

Aujourd′hui, tu me parles les sauvageries gnamkokar
Today, you're speaking to me like a savage

Vraiment, à Abidjan, souris mange chat
Truly, in Abidjan, the mouse eats the cat

C′est depuis ce jour,
Since that day,

J'ai su que la beauté de l′homme
I knew that a man's beauty

Se trouve dans sa poche
Is in his pocket

Si une go te suis,
If a girl follows you,

Et tes beaux-parents te calculent, c'est qu'ils ont comptés ton jeton
And if your in-laws are calculating you, it's because they're counting your money

Adjoua eeeh! Eh!
Adjoua eeeh! Eh!

′Kouba eeeh! Eh! Tu vas me tuer oooh! Yééé!
'Kouba eeeh! Eh! You're going to kill meeee! Yeeeee!
